All about: 1 Million Dance Studio - Dance Saturday

By -
Hello everybody and welcome back to another blog post,

I hope you're all still doing well during quarantine! It's the second post of my "All about____" series, where I talk about the dancers, choreographers, and people who have changed the way we look at dance. Last week, I talked about the Burn the Floor Dance Company so if you haven't read that already, I suggest you do because it's really interesting. You can find the link to it here. However, today I'm going to be talking about the amazing South Korean dance studio, 1 Million Dance Studio!

1 Million Dance Studio is an innovative dance center that was co-founded by Lia Kim and Timon Youn, on the 1st of December, 2014. Lia Kim is well known for her insane tutting skills and for her appearances at Urban Dance Camp and Kurt Hugo Schneider's music video to Closer, by the Chainsmokers. Whilst Timon Youn is not a dancer himself, he is very much responsible for the videography for 1 Million Dance Studio's synonymous dance YouTube channel, where they have just recently amassed over 20 million subscribers. Some of their most popular videos include May J Lee's commercial street routine to Worth It by Fifth Harmony, which has accrued over 160M views, as well as Lia Kim's also popular commercial street routine to Kurt Hugo Schneider's version of Don't Let Me Down by the Chainsmokers, which had over 33M views. Although the studio focuses mainly on hip hop and street, with their interchangeable weekly schedule, each class (that runs over a maximum of 4 classes) is dedicated solely to the choreographers individual style. This means that the dance type has the ability to change, from street to styles like contemporary, which makes it different to that of other studios. 

1 Million Dance Studio



1 Million Dance Studio has a team of dedicated dance instructors that come up with their own original choreography. These instructors include: Koosung Jung, Lia Kim, Minny Park, Shawn, Tina Boo, Yoojung Lee, and Yoojin Kim. What I like about the instructors is that they work with beginner and advanced-level dancers to produce amazing routines that are of the exact same quality. If you were to watch their beginner level routines and their advanced level routines, there is very little difference to the way that they are executed, which I think is a testament to their slogan and what they stand by. 1 Million Dance Studio goes by their name as they simply want to get everyone to dance and they're doing it brilliantly. The instructors teach dance hobbyists and have also helped choreograph for famous artists like Jay Park and Girls Generation. Not only do they invite guest choreographers like We Dem Boyz and Love Ran so that their dancers get the ultimate experience, they also travel around the world to countries like America, to get everyone to stand up and dance. They embrace different cultural styles and are really uplifting in their energy to teach dance. All this has brought nothing but joy to millions of people across the world and I think that it is for this reason that they have changed the way we look at dance.

Co-founders: Lia Kim and Timon Youn
Based in: Seoul, South Korea

Durham - Lifestyle Monday

Hello everybody and welcome back to another blog post,  As most of you have probably already seen on my Instagram, a couple months ago now, me and my parents went on a road trip to Durham to visit the university there. I thought it would be a wise idea to apply to other universities apart from Cambridge so that I would have more options in the future should anything not go to plan. And that's why I chose Durham because it was a good university and I also heard many good things about it from people at work who said they had studied there. I had actually wanted to visit Durham during their open day but of course this open day just so happened to fall at the exact same time as the open days at Cambridge which I suppose is typical. Both Cambridge and Durham are pretty competitive institutions to enter and I suppose they want you as an applicant to be selective with your decisions and narrow your choices down. It was quite annoying but I took to the internet and researched other ways of

I danced on my own-dance exam experience

Hello everybody and welcome back to another blog post, We all have things that challenge us. I did a whole blog post on challenging yourself which I won't go into detail explaining everything but I will link the post below. The basis of that post was that challenging yourself puts you one step forward towards your goal. It's like taking a chance, there's a chance it could go wrong but if it goes right, the results are amazing. On Sunday, I challenged myself. In my old dance school, for my exams, I would dance in a group in front of the examiner. I was never really nervous because I had other people around me. I was a bit nervous for me recent exam because I had to perform on my own for the first time. I'll be honest, there was a part of me that did not want to enter the studio. But, there was also a part of me that did and knew that if I did, I could go onto do more advanced technique. I'm very glad that I managed to do it because I feel like I could do it all ove

I'm going to Berlin tomorrow (thoughts, queries, worries, and things i'm excited about) - Writing Wednesday

By -
Hello everybody and welcome back to another blog post, I mentioned this briefly before but tomorrow, I'll be going on a history trip with my school to Berlin, Germany. I am SUPER excited but also a little anxious on how I'm going to cope with the drive there. Since my school does not like taking planes for residential trips, I will be taking, I think a 20 hour bus drive to Berlin. I'm a deep sleeper so I hope I'll just be sleeping on the journey there the majority of the time but I know that sitting up-right for 20 hours is not fun. I mean I've never experienced it before but I've been on an 11 hour aeroplane journey to Réunion and I was aching throughout the entire thing. So I guess all I can say is, wish me luck? However, once we get there, I think we'll be visiting Brandenburg Gate,an early 1930s work camp, and Hitler's Bunker on the last day, which I'm super excited to visit because I'm a history geek like that. Lol. What is really annoying

Day at the beach

Hello everybody and welcome back to another blog post, Yesterday, I went to Hunstanton beach with my family. I have been working hard on revision for end of year exams and my sister has just finished her GCSEs  so it felt like the perfect time to relax by the seaside.  I had to wake up early because we live in Cambridge which isn't next to a beach so we have to get up early to go to the beach on time. I woke up at 7:30am and made myself scrambled eggs on toast with tea. It was delicious! Then I went upstairs to my room to pack some things and get dressed. I packed a book and some money even though I did not end up using them. I also packed my phone to vlog and take some photos for this blog.  The drive from Cambridge to Hunstanton is about 1 hour and 30 minute drive so it's not to far. When we got there, we were originally going to park by the coast but it was £6 for 4 hours so we decided to park by the street and walk to the beach since the last car park was really expen
